Only wallpaper after login (probably bug in xfpanel-switch)

Hi,
My problem: after login all I see is my wallpaper. To see icons and panels I have to go to terminal (Ctrl+Alt+Fx) and back (Alt+F7). I think the problem was caused by xfpanel-switch, because it's broken in Xubuntu 18.10. I tried to use it to save my panel cofiguration but it's impossible, because after opening Save or Export dialog buttons Save and Cancel don't react. Any idea how can I fix it?

That's odd. xfpanel-switch works okay for me in 18.10. Not being able to save was an issue at one point (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1765565), but it was fixed.

Try this: when not logged in, delete the content's of your user's ~/.cache/sessions file. See if that helps.

Also, try running xfpanel-switch from the command line to see if there are any error messages:

xfpanel-switch save test

It solved it... for first login only. When log out and log i again the problem is back.

It says:
GLib.Error('Key file contains line 'Path' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment', 'g-key-file-error-quark', 1)
Looks like gnome-keyring issue.

Solved! I tried it before posting this topic here, but deleted it while still logged in wink

I find that it's still cleaner to delete that folder if not logged in. If you delete it while logged in, it still seems to save something on log out - but I can't replicate this with any consistency to be able to trouble shoot it.

I'm not so sure - maybe there is an inconsistency in the config file. Can you post back the results of the following:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv

...and:

cat ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml

Ups, I edited my previous post after you posted next. It solved it... for first login only. When I log out and log in again the problem is back.

In xfpanel-switch when I hover mouse over Current Configuration I get empty path "tooltip". There are paths visible in all but this configuration.

Re: Only wallpaper after login (probably bug in xfpanel-switch)

Hmm, that looks fine.
The error really looks like the bug that was already fixed.

Can you try creating a secondary user account on your computer to see if you can replicate both of the issues (the panel not showing up and saving panel profiles)?

Re: Only wallpaper after login (probably bug in xfpanel-switch)

xfpanel-switch works without problems on another account. It automatically saved current config in ~/.cache/ and i can save manually too. I have no such file in the first account (that's why it shows empty tooltip on "Current configuration" as I mentioned before - so it must've been broken at first run too).

The strange thing is that everything seems to work fine in the background. For example: when I press keyboard combination to start Thunar nothing shows (wallpaper only all the time), but when I go to terminal and back... Thunar is opened.

What video card do you have and which driver are you using?
Are you using the xfwm4 compositor?

Re: Only wallpaper after login (probably bug in xfpanel-switch)

I'm using built-in compositor.
GF 1060, nvidia-driver-390.

I switched to nouveau: desktop shows properly, xfpanel-switch still doesn't work. Damn I should've installed 18.04 LTS but went 18.10 for better Ryzen support wink

Re: Only wallpaper after login (probably bug in xfpanel-switch)

Looks like the composition pipeline change may be the cause: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … logging-in.

It's part of the problem for sure. I removed the line from xorg configuration and added xfce autostart command:
nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
And it solved the problem.

But xfpanel-switch still doesn't work. And the problem was initiated by this application, so I'm not so sure that it's Nvidia bug or xfce, it's rather combination of both.
Thank you for your help.
